Unforgettable experiences - We spent several weeks on Ometepe and explored practically the entire island with Donald. He has an incredible amount of knowledge about the flora and fauna as well as the history and culture of Nicaragua. All tours were perfectly organized. Donald's hospitality and his commitment to showing us his hometown of Ometepe remain unique and unforgettable. I can recommend him as a tour guide without reservation and with all my heart 100%!

An incredibly beautiful tour! TOP GUIDE! - I have already experienced a few tours and guides. This one was incredibly great!
The climb was very challenging, but the guide made it very interesting. We saw lots of animals and he told us about the history of the island. It was very entertaining.
The view from the summit was very beautiful.
The descent was very leisurely and we were able to appreciate parts of the route better. The short stop at the Mirador was worth it. This view is unforgettable.

Volcán Maderas with guide Donald - I got a great deal booking directly with the company through their WhatsApp number. My guide for Volcán Maderas was Donald and he was great. He kept me motivated and then safe when footing was a bit sketchy. Even though it was too foggy to see anything from the top and too foggy to make it worth hiking down to the lake, I’m really glad Happy Tours was able to get me a guide so I could hike a volcano before I left Ometepe!!

Good tour, very... - Good tour, very recommended! Be advised though that it's not an easy trail. It's narrow, very steep at times and often slippery. Hiking boots are required!

Exhausted but it was worth it - It really was a quite difficult hike due to the type of forest that predominates in this volcano, although we went up in summer it is quite humid and slippery but it should be noted that the guide was a professional in his guidance and the great help he offered us during the walk.
We are willing to return and do the Concepción volcano on our next trip

A great experience - A beautiful but challenging tour for me. Super friendly guide and reliable pick-up.
The guide is young and motivated. I'm not in particularly good shape at the moment and would have liked a helping hand now and then.
I found the hike to the crater lake to be a highlight. Wonderful and unique for me.
I strongly recommend proper hiking boots (muddy and slippery) and a jacket.
